Mother 3 English rom Patch Download is GO!!
jackal27 | 9:21 AM on 10.17.2008 20 comments




A little while ago, I went the Mother 3 fan translation website to see if there had been any updates only to notice that the comment box had been disabled on the newest thread! I was freaked out, but also excited. Was it coming!? WAS IT!!?

Then I refreshed the site to get a red page with this message



AHHHHHHHHHHH!!

IT'S UP!! JUST NOW!! While I was writing this!!

UPDATE: I finished this blog rather quickly to download the patch as fast as possible, but the site along with the download have indeed gone live in just the past couple of minutes. The site has been totally overhauled and looks great. Apparently there's an English Mother 3 walkthrough, produced by Starmen.net, that's going to be released on the web, but will also be available in book form! Awesome news!

There's so much to say... I've been waiting to play this game for years and now it's here... So why am I writing this and not playing it!? I don't know! Go download a Gameboy Advance emulator, the Japanese rom, and the patch, DO EET! DO EET NAO!!

HERE'S THE SITE! http://mother3.fobby.net/

Also, for some who might want more info on Mother 3 (it's the sequel to the fantastic Super Nintendo RPG, Earthbound) check out this site: http://starmen.net/mother3/

FUCK YEAR!!!

People download it pronto before Nintendo has it shut down.
jackal27's Destructoid Blog
Why did I put fantasy instead of fantastic? hahaha. Earthbound is anything BUT a fantasy RPG.
frozenbabylon's Destructoid Blog
Woot. Now I got about 2 or 3 weeks (give or take) of `OMG MOTHER 3 is so great` then the internet (with the exception of a few hardcore fans who will gas on about this game for years to come.) will finally shut the fuck up about Mother and Earthbound.
jackal27's Destructoid Blog
@Frozenbabylon- What are you saying? That Earthbound isn't worthy of all the praise it gets?
DanlHaas's Destructoid Blog
Downloaded for great justice. But you really think Nintendo would shut these guys down, Jonny?
jackal27's Destructoid Blog
I don't think so, the game never came out in the U.S. and how many fan translations have been floating around for years? Also, as long as lots of people download it, the patch will always be available through other sites I'm sure.
frozenbabylon's Destructoid Blog
@Jackal:

For a crappy Dragon Quest clone with `zany` and `crazy` characters, It sure gets alot of respect and praise. That's all I'm saying.

Earthbound did bring an a neat innovation with the encounter system and all, In that you didn't even have to bother with the weaker enemies anymore. That's something I'd like to see in newer games. But everything else was simply intolerable and bad. I hated this game when it was called Dragon Quest and didn't have `lolzany` characters.

But, of course, that's just my opinion.
jackal27's Destructoid Blog
@Frozenbabylon- Wow. Well... Alright then, lol. I disagree with a lot of what you just said and coincidentally like Dragon Quest games, but once again, that's just my opinion.
Jonathan Holmes's Destructoid Blog
@ Dan
I do think Nintendo will stomp it eventually, especially with the DSi allowing for it's own kind of VC.

@ Babylon- You haven't played Mother 3, have you? The game has more going on in it's first 20 minutes than Earthbound had in it's first 20 hours. Give it a chance before you write it off.
Stella Wong's Destructoid Blog
Good god I will have to rush home to download this :( I'm at workkk I wished I was home playing this!
PANZERDRAKO's Destructoid Blog

 about me

I'm mostly a retro gamer. I don't hate everything after the 90's, but I tend to prefer retro game design. I enjoy alot of indie and portable games, not to mention a blockbuster title every now and then. However, like I said, the majority of my gaming takes place on older consoles.
